-- "Not exactly what we ordered for the scrimmage, but great lessons to be learned."
-- Saban said he was really pleased with the ones on both sides of the ball. He couldn't say the same for everyone else."
-- On the younger players: "Some of them realize what it takes."
-- "How they develop is going to be critical to the depth of our team."
-- Saban said quarterback AJ McCarron and freshman running back T.J. Yeldon played well. Wide receiver Kevin Norwood "made some great plays and big catches."
-- Freshman wide receiver Amari Cooper, who has missed the open portion of the last two practices, is currently dealing with a minor foot injury. Saban said it was a "day to day" thing.
-- Junior running back Eddie Lacy has a sprained ankle and is also "day to day."
-- Back-up center Ryan Kelly has also been out with a minor injury.
-- Saban bristled when asked about balancing bad weather and trying to keep players healthy. "If you never do it, your players aren't able to respond when they have to do it."
-- "There's nothing like having to go out and experiencing it."
-- "I thought we got out what we needed to get out of it."
-- On the backup QBs: "They have a ways to go. They did some good things, made some good plays."
-- "We had several interceptions today that were ill-advised throws ... That's going to be what they have to do to learn."
-- Saban said he is, again, pleased with the first team. "Very pleased with offensive line and quarterback."
-- On young defensive backs: "Nick Perry has had a really good camp ... Landon Collins is developing ... Geno Smith is developing ... Bradley Sylve has improved a lot. They'll improve."
-- Alabama worked on special teams despite the rain. "I think that was really good."
-- "We did not have a single play on special teams affected by the bad conditions."<object id="flashObj" classid="clsid27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,47,0" height="412" width="486">
